Government spokesman Siripong Angkasakulkiat confirmed the fatalities on Wednesday, with Nakhon Si Thammarat reporting the highest number of deaths at nine, followed by Songkhla, Pattani, and Yala with six and five respectively.

The disaster has now affected over 2.78 million people across Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Trang, Phatthalung, Satun, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces. Causes of death have included drowning, electrocution, and landslides triggered by the relentless torrential rains. While the Meteorological Department forecasts some relief with rainfall expected to gradually ease through next Monday, flood levels continue to rise in most affected southern provinces except Surat Thani.
